right so you cant bet on your own team in a match but you can bet on finishing posistions etc?
It seems that way, yes
That bet doesn't come under UEFA's jurasdiction. The one (not that there was an actual bet apparently) regarding Frimpong, does.
is that becuase its not a uefa match?
Indeed.
not sure if you would know this but what happens if the defore jack bet was about who would get further in the champions league, us or the spurs. would that break uefa rules?
I'd have thought so yes, even if there wasn't ever actually a bet. They don't want a Hanse Cronje, clearly.
And as we know, finishing positions have nothing to do with matches.
Lines seem blurry to me.
It's like saying in cricket it's ok to bet on a test series but not an individual test match. Either way the player is conflicted with a specific match when it gets to the last test. Same case applies in football. Wilshere's bet on finishing above Tottenham went down to the last day - making it dependent on a specific match.
It's obviously for fun. They earn enough to not give a fuck about making/losing £100 here or there. But if you're going to be petty enough to discipline for specific matches, a group of matches (which a league season or a cup campaign is) has to be counted the same for consistency.
